Description
Aimed at children between the ages of eight and twelve, Seeing Things is a wonderful introduction to photography that asks how photographers transform ordinary things into meaningful moments. In this book, acclaimed and beloved photographer Joel Meyerowitz takes readers on a journey through the power and magic of photography: its abilities to freeze time, tell a story, combine several layers into one frame and record life's fleeting and beautiful moments. The book features the work of masters such as William Eggleston, Mary Ellen Mark, Helen Levitt and Walker Evans, among many others. Each picture is accompanied by a short commentary, encouraging readers to look closely and use their imagination to understand key ideas in photography such as light, gesture, composition-and, ultimately, how there is wonder all around us when viewed through the lens.

Is it a book for toddles? Is it a book for teenagers? First of all, it is an extraordinary book, in which the author introduces the reader to many famous photographs, and only one of his own. Each photograph has a short text which helps a lot understanding each imagine and induces the reader to understand the basics of photography. Were it not for this book I think I would have never discovered a very important detail in one of the most cherished photos of Cartier-Bresson: the man caught in the air ready to fall in a splash. It is really a guide to kids, and a very good guide to photo understanding. Not only for kids, but also por old people like me. Two years ago Aperture Foundation (the same which edited this book) published another extraordinary book for kids called "This equals That" aiming as well as a guide to photography. Which is better? I would say "This equals that" can be Step One. And this book from Meyerowitz can be Step Two. I cannot tell which one is better, but I can tell I feel very happy at having both of them. "This equals that" has no text, so it is a book which explains itself by only using images, then you only need your eyes to get it (anyhow Aperture has on its web page a guide to help understanding this book to readers and teachers and it really does the work). Meyerowitz' book, though the photographs by themselves are worth buying the book at large, the text helps a fifty per cent. I am sure this book will soon end being translated into many languages. I think both books serve for small children, even for toddlers, on condition that an adult helps the child to get them at 100%. These two outstanding books go together like salt goes with pepper, or peaches with cream! IF you have a child, or like photography a lot, buy them both. You will not get dissapointed. Thanks Meyerowitz, thanks Fulford and Shopsin, thank Aperture (you are doing a great job and each time better).
